Bruce Springsteen: Trump is ‘deeply damaged at his core’
- 5 years ago
There’s a moment in his Broadway show when Bruce Springsteen reflects on the sacred nature of democracy.
Before singing the opening lines of “The Ghost of Tom Joad,” his 1995 folk anthem inspired by John Steinbeck’s “The Grapes of Wrath” and Woody Guthrie, Springsteen, wearing a black T-shirt and dark jeans on a midtown Manhattan stage, tries to make sense of the cultural and partisan shift that’s happening in the United States.
“These are times when we’ve also seen folks marching, and in the highest offices of our land, who want to speak to our darkest angels, who want to call up the ugliest and most divisive ghosts of America’s past,” he says to sold-out crowds of 975 during performances of “Springsteen on Broadway” at the Walter Kerr Theatre. “And they want to destroy the idea of an America for all. That’s their intention.”
He’s now revealed in a new interview, unsurprisingly, that “they” is just one person: President Trump.
